Aviva and WarwickSEDA Tax 2012 Appeal

I spoke with 35 year old Aviva quite recently and she told me how devastated she was when she lost her sight.

"I have a health condition which began to affect my eyesight. I started getting terrible headaches and discomfort in my eyes. Then one Saturday morning, out of the blue, I woke up and thought it was still night. I'd lost my sight overnight! I was in complete shock. The only thing I said for 48 hours was, 'I'm not ready'".

Please donate online or sponsor a pup by calling 1800 42 20 77.
